Verse 16 is found in chapter 9 of 2 Chronicles. The enormous quantities of gold and the kingdom’s commercial relationships are described. Solomon’s wealth reaches extraordinary proportions and is connected with international trade. The chronicler thus presents the fulfillment of the prosperity granted by God, although material abundance remains within the narrative as a reality that must be managed wisely.
